Yesterday's calendar included the monthly DAR meeting, with a Quilt of Valor award as our program. We meet each month in the local Carnegie Resource Center, which of course is a historic Carnegie library building.
The building is really beautiful, and is now the home of a lot of original Oscar Howe art. And it's the home of the local historical and genealogical organizations. It's open to the public in the afternoons for research or to enjoy the ever-changing displays of local history. When you walk in the front door and look up - there is a huge dome covered in original paintings done in the 1940s by Howe as part of a WPA project. Framed Howe paintings hang on the walls below the dome all around the balcony.
Our QOV group has been asked to do a quilt award each year at the chapter DAR November meeting, as an annual event. In return they give us a donation. This gentleman is a Korean War veteran. As always it was an honor to be involved.
This week's Blockheads block is another 18" one, and I'm guessing that next week's will also be 18". I've resolved to NOT start playing with layouts until I have all the blocks done. And next week should be the final block release.
This is Criss Cross Applesauce by Laura Muir. It was a good opportunity to use a bigger print in those large corners.
Yesterday afternoon I managed to get the back put onto the Bah Humbug pillow. Hopefully I'll have a finish to show soon. And I cut binding for 2 of the projects just picked up from quilters. My plan today is to get the binding attached to at least one of those projects.
